Welcome To Wilton Tennis Club!
The Wilton Tennis Club is a lively and friendly club situated south of Wimbledon town centre. It thrives on a healthy mix of social and competitive tennis, played throughout the year, and caters for a variety of memberships from full annual membership through to the junior level.
A Social tennis 'convenor' organises sets during busy times to encourage all members to play social tennis, and of course, during less busy times the courts are all yours.
The club has eight men?s and four ladies? teams playing in Surrey leagues and offers regular coaching sessions for team players. As well as team competitions, the Club runs closed summer and winter tournaments and operates monthly singles leagues.
There are four new high quality Four Seasons courts. They are all weather courts with new, free floodlighting and so are available throughout the year.
Wilton Club is run by its members. A volunteer spirit is encouraged. Each year a committee is elected to perform some of the jobs necessary to secure the smooth running of the club. Elections take place at the annual general meeting, which is usually held in March. All full members are eligible to stand for election.
We hope that after reading what the Wilton Tennis Club has to offer you will want to join. If you have any further questions then please call the Club Secretary, Terry Oakes, or the Club Coach, Kim Freebairn or, alternatively, come down and talk to us. We're only 10mins from Wimbledon station.
We look forward to welcoming you to the Wilton in the near future.

Aegon: Wilton Ladies 1 beat Virgin Brighton 5-1
A Spring day (at last!) saw Wilton Ladies 1 put in a fantastic performance at home to Virgin Brighton. Making their debuts for the club, Lauren Harrington and Rona Bereisha scored convincing victories against much higher rated players. In the crucial 3rd rubber Louise Ronaldson put in her best-ever performance for Wilton with an excellent 6-3, 6-3 win. Lois Fletcher lost but showed many signs of a return to her best form. We were able to bring in doubles specialists Michaela Knespl and Kim Freebairn for the last two rubbers. An ever-increasing crowd of Wilton supporters were able to see superb doubles resulting in two close Wilton victories and a final 5-1 scoreline.
